Connect a mouse, keyboard, printer, flash drive, or other USB peripheral exactly where you need it—no more straining or crawling under furniture.

Who is it for

This extension cable is ideal for anyone who needs to place USB devices farther from their computer or hub. It works perfectly in home offices, classrooms, workshops, and server rooms. If you have a desktop tower tucked away, a wall-mounted monitor with a USB hub, or simply need extra length for a USB dongle, this cable provides a reliable, plug-and-play solution.

Tips

For best performance, avoid chaining multiple extension cables together, as this can degrade signal quality. When extending a high-power device, ensure the total cable length does not exceed USB 2.0's recommended 5-meter limit. The female connector is ideal for mounting in a desk grommet or cable management panel to create a convenient front-facing USB port.
